A man who shot his 63-year-old father Sunday night now faces murder charges.

In an upstairs bedroom of the victim's home about 11 a.m., Cory Dale Baker, 41, allegedly shot Dale Lee Baker in the head, authorities said.

Dale Baker's wife called police and requested an ambulance. Harris County Constables Precinct 4 responded to the scene in the 16000 block of Lakeshore Drive. Investigators from the sheriff's office later arrived to conduct the investigation.

Dale Baker was flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital and pronounced dead several hours later, according to a press release from Harris County Sheriff's Office.

A spokesman said the son provided no motive for why he shot his father.

County court records show Cory Baker had a history of violence.

Since 1992, he's been charged with assault or aggravated assault nine times, including being accused of hitting family or police officers. Once, he allegedly attacked a man with a garden hoe. Most of those cases were eventually dismissed.

Between the three convictions, he was sentenced to more than two years in county jail.

He also was charged with DWI three times and convicted once as well as being convicted of trespassing.
